Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 356 - Gossips

"Do you know that actress XX is dating director Y?"

"Popular star X's assistant threw a hot coffee on her hands."

"That emerging actor actually has a financial backer."

The more he heard the more Lin Zhen's head hurt. He was so annoyed that he wanted to beat Pei Zi Hong right here and right now!

"Shuyi, you better shut up before I run out of my patience!"

Pei Zi Hong lost his excited look as he said, "Zhen Ge, I am actually sharing some hot inside news of the industry with you."

"Are you sure that's inside news and not popular gossip in the circle?" questioned Huang Shuyi as he ran a hand through his red hair.

Pei Zi Hong instantly looked solemn as he defended, "How can it be called gossip?"

Fang Yiwen licked his canines before he looked at Pei Zi Hong and questioned, "When did you become a gossipmonger?"

"Since the time I have nothing else to do," answered Pei Zi Hong. He was also helpless. He was too idle since the time of his dating scandal. To pass his time, he could only read this gossips. But it seemed like he was getting addicted to such real-life dramas.

Right then, Hyson came to join them and dropped down like a salted fish on the sofa.

"How are you, Fai?" asked Lin Zhen in a concerned voice.

"I could have been better if I didn't have to come here," answered Hyson in all honesty.

Lin Zhen patted his shoulder, "Bear with it. It won't take long."

"Yeah, it won't take long," added Pei Zi Hong. "Who knows if they even want us or not?" He shook his head helplessly as he informed Hyson, "Do you know several of the artists actually terminated their contracts and jumped ships?"

"Because of the new management?" inquired Hyson.

Pei Zi Hong looked strange as he said, "That's just an excuse, little Fai. No one even knew who the new boss is until today. They started terminating their contracts two weeks ago. Do you know what that means?"

"They are using this opportunity to leave a sinking ship," responded Hyson.

"Bingo!" Pei Zi Hong rubbed Hyson's fluffy hair. "I knew you're smart."

"Zi Hong Ge, you're quite well informed," commented Hyson.

Pei Zi Hong looked proud of himself, "Well, I have been keeping my eyes and ears open."

"And by that, Zi Hong means he had been spending way too much time going undercover in girl's chatroom."

Pei Zi Hong glared at Huang Shuyi for revealing his secret.

The rest of them burst out laughing when they heard that statement from Huang Shuyi. But Pei Zi Hong wasn't embarrassed, "Well, girls are well informed. It can't be helped."

"Does your girlfriend know what you've been up to?" asked Hyson. "Or should I tell her?"

"She knows," answered Pei Zi Hong. "She is the one who gave me that idea."

Hyson's eyes widened when he heard that, "I didn't think she was..." He didn't know how to describe her.

"Wait," Fang Yiwen spoke up as he lifted his eyes from his phone. "Little Fai, you know Zi Hong's girlfriend?"

Hyson nodded his head, "I met her a couple of times."

Fang Yiwen sneered at Pei Zi Hong, "What a brotherhood! You actually let your girlfriend meet our Little Fai but not any one of us? Why? Were we going to bite her or something?"

"Those vampire teeth of yours really makes me feel like you might bite her to suck her blood," retorted Pei Zi Hong making Fang Yiwen pick up a cushion and throw it at his face.

Pei Zi Hong caught it easily and laughed out, "I'm kidding. I'll introduce her to you all but at the right time. In Fai's case, it was a bit unexpected."

Lin Zhen received a text and he stood up, "Let's go to the conference room, it's our turn now."

"Finally," said Huang Shuyi as he stood up and stretched his neck.

All of them took the elevator and reached the conference room. The door was pushed open and one by one all of them entered with Lin Zhen taking the lead. It really gave one the illusion that Lin Zhen was bringing his kids for a parent-teacher meeting.

Inside the room, the only person they could recognize was the Vice President of the company, it seemed not all of the management was changed. But when they looked at the person seated on the main seat, all of them paused for a moment.

The biggest reaction had to be from Hyson who was dumbfounded to see that person. However, he composed himself and showed no sign that something was wrong. But he did raise a brow at that person in question.

Shui Xian chose not to respond to those questioning eyes for now.

Yes, the one on the head seat was actually Shui Xian himself. And that's why Hyson was so surprised right now to see him here. However, just like Hyson, Shui Xian also didn't show anything on his face. After all, currently, he was in her professional mode, he'd not show personal feelings in serious business.

"First of all, we'd like to ask you all if you would like to resign your contracts with the company," started one of the people from the team seated before them.

"All of us?" questioned Lin Zhen on behalf of his group.

"Yes, all of you," answered that woman with a polite smile.

Pei Zi Hong was surprised a bit when he heard that. He didn't think they would want to keep a problematic artist like him. After all, even though they took over an established company, currently it was like an empty shell because most of the famous artists chose to jump ships. Now, this company was said to be like starting all over again. Was it okay to keep an artist like him?

As if Lin Zhen could read Pei Zi Hong's self-deprecating thoughts, he pinched his thigh under the table where no one could see it, and only then did Pei Zi Hong snapped out of it.
